The collection contained two of his biggest hits, “Long Tall Sally”, which reached #6 in the US and “Jenny, Jenny”, which reached #10. Little Richard entered a New Orleans recording studio to begin two days of recording. Things were not going well and during a break, Richard and his producer; Bumps Blackwell went to the Dew Drop Inn for lunch. Richard started playing the piano in the bar like crazy, singing a loud and lewd version of ‘Tutti Frutti.’ With only fifteen minutes left in the session, Richard recorded the song and coined the phrase, ‘a-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom.’

“She Loves You” by the Beatles became England’s all-time best-selling single, a record that wasn’t broken until 1977 when Paul McCartney released “Mull Of Kintyre.”

Singer/songwriter Pete Seeger of the Weavers finally agreed to appear on the ABC-TV folk music show “Hootenanny,” only to change his mind when the network asked him to sign what amounted to a loyalty oath. They requested a sworn affidavit as to his past and present affiliations, if any, with the Communist Party, and/or with the Communist front organizations, and for him to affirm that he would not conspire with any political parties to overthrow the U.S. government.

Filming continued for The Beatles ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ in South West England. The Beatles searched for a quiet, secluded field in which they could conduct filming but once they’d disembarked from the bus and set up for shooting, scores of onlookers began to crowd around, causing a traffic jam that required the police to step in.

September 14, 1968

The Archies cartoon show first aired on Saturday mornings on the CBS television network. The records that were credited to this make believe group were recorded by Ron Dante, Andy Kim, Jeff Barry and others. Rock mogul, Don Kirshner (who also brought us The The Monkees) was put in charge of the studio group. Their biggest hit would turn out to be a song called “Sugar, Sugar”, that went to number one in 1969, selling over six million copies.

Roy Orbison‘s two sons, Roy Jr. (11) and Tony (6), are killed in a fire at his Hendersonville, Tennessee home while he is on tour in England. Capt. Bill Deering of the Gallatin Fire Department said “From what we’ve been able to piece together, the two children who were killed were playing with an aerosol can in the basement of the house when their grandfather, Orbie Orbison, warned them that was dangerous. The grandfather, we are told, pushed the spray on the can and, to demonstrate the danger, touched his cigarette lighter to the spray.”

Elvis spent most of September in Palm Springs.

The Vegas Artist in Residence and Tour Decade

September 14, 1970

Elvis Presley performed at Municipal Auditorium in Mobile, Alabama, in front of the largest sell-out crowd in the venue’s history.

The group stayed in the Admiral Semmes Hotel just like in 1955. However the hotel was now in such a terrible state that Elvis complained bitterly. When Joe Esposito tried to arrange something else to stay, he was told there was no other room available.

Before ending the tour, Elvis gave out bonuses to each of the guys. Even after deducting the Colonel’s share Elvis made more than $174,000 on this 6 day tour.

September 12, 1966

The Monkees television show premieres on NBC. Producers Bert Schneider and Bob Rafelson decided to emulate the zany, madcap humor of the Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night for the small screen. When they placed an ad in Variety for four Folk and Rock musicians to appear in a TV series, over 400 applied for the job, including Stephen Stills, John Sebastian, Harry Nilsson and Danny Hutton (later of Three Dog Night), but as it turned out, only one of the four winners, guitarist and songwriter Michael Nesmith, actually saw the ad. Micky Dolenz (who would play drums), Davy Jones (who would sing), and Peter Tork (bass) found out about the opportunity from other sources. Nesmith and Tork had experience in the Folk scene; Dolenz and Jones were primarily actors, although Nesmith and Jones had already made some obscure solo recordings. Some have claimed that Charles Manson also applied, but he was in prison at the time and would not be paroled until March 21, 1967.  The series ran for a total of 58 episodes.

“The Roger Miller Show” debuted on ABC-TV. The series lasted for 16 episodes.

Johnny Cash, “The Man in Black” who became a towering figure in American music with such hits as “Folsom Prison Blues”, “I Walk the Line”, and “A Boy Named Sue”, died at the age of 71. During his career, Cash won 11 Grammys, most recently in 2003, when “Give My Love To Rose” earned him honors as Best Male Country Vocal Performance. He also notched fourteen number 1 Country music hits. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Two of his most popular albums were recorded live at Folsom Prison in 1968 and at San Quentin in 1969. Many people wrongly thought he had served prison time himself. He never did, although he did spend the odd night in jail during his youth and battled addictions to pills on and off throughout his life.

Britain’s BBC banned Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett‘s single, “Monster Mash”, saying it was offensive and in poor taste. They eventually relented and the song went on to become a seasonal hit, reaching a high of #3 in 1973.

It Happened at the World’s Fair  Production: September 4-13 in Seattle

Rain canceled filming on Monday September 10, and Presley and company lay low.

Visiting the fair as a tourist was the 315-pound New Orleans trumpeter Al Hirt,who was asked his opinions about modern music. He wishfully believed — like all jazzers seemingly did back then — that there was “a strong surge toward the return of the big bands” … ‘Better music is coming back all the time. Even Elvis Presley is changing his material’” (The Seattle Times, September 11, 1962).

September 10, 1963

The Daily Mirror published a two-page article about The Beatles. Written by Donald Zec, the feature is entitled ‘Four Frenzied Little Lord Fauntleroys Who Are Earning 5,000 Pounds A Week’ Zec, who had attended a Beatles concert in Luton on Sept. 6 and then invited them to his home to complete the interview, referred to The Beatles’ haircuts as ‘A stone-age hair style’. The article provided a major boost to their career.

During a chance meeting between The Rolling Stones at Studio 51 Jazz Club in London with Paul McCartney and John Lennon, the two played the Stones a partly finished song ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’ which the Stones later record.

At the end of a standoff between federal authorities and Alabama governor George C. Wallace, 20 black students entered previously all-white public schools in Alabama.

The Byrds begin recording “Turn! Turn! Turn!”. Unlike their first hit, “Mr. Tambourine Man”, members of the group itself are permitted to play instead of session musicians.

Manager Brian Epstein began negotiating with ABC-TV to air a Beatles cartoon series. The weekly show aired from September 25, 1965 to May 9, 1969. Veteran voice actor Paul Frees provided the speaking voices of John and George while Lance Percival of the British “Carry On” films did the voices of Paul and Ringo.

The Supremes achieve their seventh US number one record when “You Can’t Hurry Love” tops the Billboard chart. Phil Collins would enjoy similar success with the song sixteen years later when his rendition also went to number one.

The Rolling Stones appear on The Ed Sullivan Show in New York. Guitarist Brian Jones performs despite a cast on his right hand which he broke in a fall in Tangier.

The Monkees‘ “The Last Train To Clarksville” is released in the US. By the first week of November, it will be the top tune in the nation. The lyrics describe a phone call by a military man to his girl, asking that she ‘take the last train to Clarksville’ so they can have one last night together before he has to leave on the morning train. The record topped out at #23 in the UK.

The Beatles started a six-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with Revolver the group’s ninth US chart topper. The title ‘Revolver’, like Rubber Soul before it, is a pun, referring both to a kind of handgun as well as the “revolving” motion of the record as it is played on a turntable.

September 10, 1967

Elvis had some brief time between films and wanted to record some new songs and material for new singles as well as bonus songs to fill out the Clamback soundtrack album. One of the songs Elvis really wanted to do was Guitar Man. They fooled around with the song, but couldn’t replicate Reed’s guitar. So Reed was tracked down and asked to play along. Elvis in R.C.A studio in Nashville, shown with fans:

The result of this session was stunning, not only the intended song, but Big Boss Man as well. Unfortunately there was a big fight about the rights of publishing, the Col demanding, Elvis silent and so Reed, song writer and guitarist, stormed out. The session went on till 5.30 a.m. but the atmosphere was ruined.

This Day in Music Spotlight: Elvis Presley and Jerry ‘Guitar Man’ Reed

Guitar Man would be Elvis’ last of eleven #1 Country hits, but did not crack the Billboard Top 40.

September 10, 1968

The Beatles were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘Hey Jude’, the group’s 15th UK No.1 and the longest chart topper ever at seven minutes and ten seconds. The single was the first release on the group’s Apple records label.

The New York Dolls spit up. The influential American band formed in 1972 and made just two albums, the 1973 ‘New York Dolls’ and 1974 ‘Too Much Too Soon’.
